Rated Allegra for Hay fever - Seasonal allergies Report

I take one 180mg tablet at night right before I go to bed. So if it does make me drowsy I haven't noticed! No side effects noticed yet. But it feels like a miracle...I tried Claritin, Zyrtec, Benedryl...none of them worked this season.
I can sleep now! I still have to blow my nose several times a day but I'm not at all a miserable mess like I was before.
I have a steroid pack too if needed but I'm going to hold off on those if Allegra continues to work for me.
We think it's allergies to Mountain Cedar mainly. (TX)

Rated Allegra for Hay fever - Seasonal allergies Report

Was prescribed Allegra for allergies/asthma after Claritin and Zyrtec failed to help. Benadryl works great, but makes me sleep (literally) most of the time. Allegra was the exact opposite--no drowsiness at all, but didn't work at all. Also costs about $150/month--very expensive for allergy meds.

Allegra dried up the fluid in my left ear due to seasonal allergies, but I kept getting headaches the whole time I was taking it. Also, a little upset stomach, otherwise it works well for allergies and fluid in ears.

Rated Allegra for Allergic Rhinitis Report

I take one 180 mg Allegra at bedtime each night during the times of the year when my allergies and asthma bother me. I have found continued relief when combined with Singulair and Combivent.

Allegra D I've used Allegra-D to manage my allergies for years. It's the only one that doesn't make me drowsy. I used Seldane, the drug it was bsed upon, as well.

Rated Allegra for Hives (Urticaria) Report

Only with Double Dose did it alleviate itching. Was using this with 3 other antihistamines, accolate and some DMARD's. Allegra did help with the itching and I was able to cut back on the Benadryl.
Unfortunately at that dose I had PVC's (premature ventricular contractions - harmless but annoying). I have lowered the dose and had only partial relief...
no PVC's though.

Rated Allegra for General food allergies Report

Allegra I tried Allegra. I am chemical sensitive. After taking Allegra I developed every one of the side effects from this medication. I had so much pain in my back that I could barely move my left leg. If you are very chemical sensitive this is one medication that you need to be aware of the side effects.
